New Zealand singer and songwriter Lorde has announced a 2025 world tour named ‘Ultrasound’ across arenas in North America, Europe and the UK, in support of her forthcoming album Virgin, out June 27. The extensive tour will begin in North America in Austin, Texas on September 17. The European leg will begin in Luxembourg a few weeks later, on November 9, followed by Paris on November 10 and the first UK date in Manchester on November 15.

The Ultrasound world tour will also bring very special guests as support, including the likes of The Japanese House, Blood Orange, Chanel Beads, and Empress Of to name a few.

“Very proud and excited to be bringing my most talented friends in support … Come see what’s under the skin.” the singer shared on Instagram earlier today.

Tickets to go on sale May 16, with pre-sale on May 14.

The upcoming album Virgin marks the first record from the singer since 2021’s Solar Power. The lead single ‘What Was That’ which came out earlier this month, signals a return to the emotive synth-pop style reminiscent of her 2017 album Melodrama. Critics have praised the new track for its introspective lyrics and return to a more intense, synth-driven sound. The song has been described as a "hypnotic synth-pop stunner", marking a new era for Lorde.
